Italian Ricotta Cake
(From Chef Julie)

15 oz. Ricotta
1/2 cup Sugar
3 Eggs
1/4 lb. Butter, room temperature
2 Tbs Grated Lemon Rind
Topping:
8 oz. Cream Cheese, room temperature
1 cup Sour Cream
1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tbs Powdered Sugar
Dark or Semi-sweet Chocolate Bar, room temperature
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour (or use non-stick baking spray, don't use butter) a 9 x 13 pan. Prepare cake mix using box instructions. Spoon 2/3 of the mixture into the cake pan, do not bake. Reserve the rest of the batter in a small bowl. In same mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar and eggs and mix until creamy. Add ricotta and lemon rind. Mix well. Add reserved batter from small bowl and mix until well blended. Pour the mixture on top of the unbaked cake batter in the cake pan. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes or until slightly brown. Cool thoroughly. When cake is cooled, in a large mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese, add sour cream and mix well. Add cold whipping cream a few tablespoons at a time to ensure creamy consistency. Add powdered sugar and whip until very thick. Spread over cooled cake in a thick layer (use all of it). Using a vegetable peeler, shave chocolate along sides of the bar until you have the desired amount for garnish, sprinkle it all over the topping and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Variation:
To make a chocolate ricotta cake:
1. Replace yellow or golden cake mix with Chocolate Butter recipe mix.
2. Omit grated lemon rind and replace with 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder in the ricotta mixture. Add an extra teaspoon sugar. You may also add 1 teaspoon of Almond extract if desired.
3. You won't be able to tell if this variation is slightly brown when baking, so watch carefully.
